Black Panther

Chadwick Boseman offers up details about Black Pather in Captain America: Civil War as the actor spoke with Total Film magazine.

Describing Black Panther:

He has the dual activity of being a monarch of a country, and he’s literally a detective. I think he’s a misunderstood character because he makes decisions sometimes without consulting other people [laughs], without working as a team. It’s very hard to predict why he does what he does.

How much do we see Black Panther in Civil War:

I don’t feel like you’ll have a deep sense of the character because it’s a brief introduction. It leaves a lot to be explored. You want the character to have an arc, but I think there’s a lot you don’t know about him at the end of the movie.

How Black Panther is introduced in Civil War:

He is brought into the story because there are Wakandans who are the victims of the tragedy that happens because of the superheroes. So he’s brought in really as a political [figure], and he’s useful. It’s not really as a superhero. He fits that whole theme of the movie.

The Wakandans know who he is. It’s like his, purpose is to protect his country. It’s not necessarily to protect everyone [laughs]. He’s not that type of superhero. He has a singular purpose in that respect when he’s coming into this movie.

Chadwick Boseman will also be starring in the upcoming Black Panther standalone movie that has a February 16, 2018 release.

We’ve seen Black Panther battling Captain America in the Civil War trailers, and the latest issue of Empire Magazine features Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa seemingly side-by-side Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson. So where does Black Panther stand? Check out comments made by Boseman talking about Panther’s mission in Civil War, Wakanda, Black Panther’s powers and the upcoming solo movie.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24460:]]

Role and mission in Civil War:

Boseman insists that Black Panther is “not a superhero” in the usual sense. Amid the grand-scale tussle that is the Civil War, he stands apart,”I’m not on anybody’s team,” says Boseman. “It’s my political mission to tame it and get it under control.”

“T’Challa is a prince of Wakanda,” he explains. “All heroes have a weight on their shoulders, but there will eventually be a difference in what I have to carry politically and socially.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24446:]]

Wakanda:

“The idea of Wakanda is sort of, what if Timbuktu hasn’t been conquered?” says Boseman, who also invented his own accent for the character, figuring out where on the continent the fictional country would lie. “I basically listened to people and picked what sounded cool, since it’s not a specific place. It’s in the southern, central part of Africa. The attitude, the musicality, as is my preference of the character. It has to fit his dignity.”

Powers:

Black Panther combines mystical powers with high-tech accessories. The latter are definitely present in Civil War. Vibranium is woven into his suit to provide extra protection and has been shaped into ‘claws’ so sharp they can cut through other metals. There are also, Boseman teases, further “properties to the suit that you’ll see at a later date.” He won’t confirm whether his character has undergone the initiation ceremony that imbues him with superhuman senses, strength and speed, but it’s a fair bet he’ll have swallowed his magic brew by the end of the Black Panther solo movie, to be directed by Creed‘s Ryan Coogler (“He’s dynamic, he lovs the character, he’s such a great choice to direct that movie,” says Joe Russo).

On the Black Panther solo movie:

Each Marvel solo adventure s far has had its own distinct tone, and the same will be true of Black Panther. “There is one genre I think Black Panther lends himself to, but I’m not going to say,” Boseman tells us. “Black Panther is a superhero movie but it’s still character-driven. That’s my assessment so far. You have to identify with what you know, you have the fantasy of this other world but that can only hold you so far. It’s what’s real that is going to hold you in the end.”

“Black Panther” hits February 16, 2018.

It’s learned Chadwick Boseman has signed a five-picture deal with Marvel.

Team Iron Man

Black Widow: Wait, what? Black Widow fighting against Captain America? Yep, Steve’s long-time ally is going rogue in Civil War, siding with Tony Stark over the registration act. “She’s trying to pick up the pieces of her life,” says Scarlett Johansson. This is going to be messy.

Black Panther: After that Avengers: Age of Ultron Easter EGg placed Black Panther in Wakanda, the clawed hero debuts in Civil War. “We needed fresh eyes, [somebody] who wasn’t embedded with the Avengers,” Marvel honcho Kevin Feige has said of introducing Panther at this point in the story, and with Chadwick Boseman (Get On Up) signed up for a five-picture deal with Marvel, he’ll be around a while.

War Hammer (War Machine): Old Shellhead’s greatest ally, War Hammer (Don Cheadle) looks to get into a spot of bother in Civil War – the film’s trailer shows his pulverised body being cradled by a disraught Stark. Could this be the end of the line?

Team Captain America

Ant-Man: After his brush with Falcon (Anthony Mackie) in Ant-Man, Scott Lang (Paul Lang) is entering the Avengers fray for good, and it seems he and Falcon have patched things up between films, as Marvel’s tiniest hero is siding with Caps. “It’s been a surreal ride so far,” says Rudd of joining the superhero stable. “It’s really only just starting…”

The Winter Soldier: Last seen in the post-credits Ant-Man sting, he may have been trying to kill Cap in The Winter Soldier, but now that he’s recovered his memories, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) is back on side – possibly. “You’re always trying to guess what side he is on… because he can go both ways,” Stan teases.
